Fashion is a cruel mistress - and many of them look stupid. Like saggy trousers, whereby the underwear is exposed. it looks stupid, but one US town has taken it's dislike to a
new level:
"A mayor in the US state of Louisiana says he will sign into law a proposal to make wearing saggy trousers an act of indecent exposure.
Delcambre town council unanimously passed the ordinance earlier this week making it a crime to wear trousers that show underwear.
"If you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine" of US$500 (£254) Mayor Carol Broussard said.
Offenders will also risk up to six months in jail." (BBC)
Yes, they look stupid, but they're hardly "indecent exposure"! This is a prime example of stupid legislation. Fashions come in and out constantly. This one will last no longer than any other, and within a year or so at most it will be deeply unfashionable to wear saggy trousers. And a few decades later, they'll come back again in some form. Fashions always have, and always will.
